We Can See Thru The Sea

The transportation safety board of Canada has reported that the primary cause of accidents in the maritime industry and offshore oil and gas fields is the total failure of machinery or technical systems. The problem is often caused by human errors by technicians responsible for performing periodic inspections of machines as part of a planned maintenance program. Unfortunately, these technicians cannot predict the location of excessive wear on mechanical parts or when a failure will occur. This leads to reactive maintenance processes that only start after the failure occurs. Consequently, this problem results in an increased death and injury rate on board the marine and offshore vessels and affects companies' business side by increasing drydocking entry rates and machinery shutdown periods until everything is maintained. Additionally, the International Maritime Organization's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 76) has adopted several technical and operational measures aimed at reducing the carbon intensity of international shipping, putting pressure on vessel owners and companies to comply with Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) regulations to reduce the carbon emissions without reducing sailing speeds.

Proactive Vessel Maintenance

To solve these issues, Seathru Technologies Inc. installs a robust network of sensors that continually collect operational sensory data from in-service equipment during the operational phase of marine and offshore vessels. This provides ship owners with a remote real-time monitoring system that evaluates machinery performance remotely by monitoring their internal parameters. Seathru's sensor network is equipped with a digital twin, big data analytical platform, and numerical algorithms to predict and identify any wear and tear of internal components by comparing the actual behaviour of machines with the expected behaviour according to manufacturing data sheets. This analyzed operational sensory data is uploaded to a cloud system that generates operational and maintenance recommendations sent to operators and maintenance teams to address potential breakdowns before they occur. This system can optimize fuel consumption to reduce pollutant emissions and detect any possible oil or fuel leaks into the ocean by keeping the tanks of marine and offshore vessels under real-time measurement.
